A TUssLE WITH A BIG WILDCAT.

Last Friday Charles Pierce, eolored man
who resides in the town of Avon, and ekes
out a precarieus living by fishing and hunt
ing, was ranging over the wooded portion of
the mountain in search of game. As he
was passing through particularly dense
portion of the wood he was startled by
snarling sound that seemed to issue from
close thicket directly ahead of him.
Believing some wild animal was lurking in
the underbrush Pierce cooked both
barrels of his shotgun, threw stone
in the direction from whence the sound came
and awaited developments. He didn't have
to wait long, for the missile had hardly
reached its destination before large animal
dashed out and made directly toward him.
Though startled, Pierce stood his ground,
and taking careful aim discharged both bar
rels of the gun at the beast. The wildcat, for
such it proved to be, gave a spring into the
air as the leaden shower reached it and fell
back dead. The wildcat weighed thirty
pounds and is now being stuffed by New
Haven taxidermist.

A QUEER CASE.

John Clark sent to the Waterbury
almshouse under short sentence just before
the cases of smallpox occurred there. When
the quarantine was established he was
obliged to remain, though he says payment
of his fine was rendered, and he was, ne
says, required to act as a nurse to the small
pox patients He has now brought suit for
500 damages. His lawyer says the ques

such service, or whether the board of health
have the authority by law to say man has
been exposed, and if SO, deprive him of his
liberty without a hearing.

THE LATE EDITOR BAKER.

els W. Baker, proprietor of the New Britain
Record, died at his home on Glen street early
Saturday morning, aged 30. Though young
in years the experiences of lifetime had
been crowded into his career. While yet
receiving his education in the public schools
he was smitten with a fever which left his
limbs partially paralyzed and his constitution
badly shattered. With mind bright and
active, however, he resolutely entered upon
journalistic career, evinoing sterling ability
and always showing an even oheerfulness of
disposition and fortitude and patience that
was remarkable. His complication Of ills
finally conquered and he had to give up work
on his paper and yield to them, lingering in
confinement to the house for over six months

For spring, the nice days and Henleys Suits,
Pants and Spring Overcoats. The grandest,
the most stylish and the cheapest, consistent
with the quality, that ever came into this
or any other town or county in this part of
the state. My lowest prices on pants for
this season will be 800. . If you want a
lower price pants than the above, 60, to the
ready made clothing house, where You will
get better pair for the money than any
tailor can make you for the money! My
highest priced pants are S14.00. Come and
look at the goods Do not be buldozed into
the belief that you can get anything that is
first class for less than il is worth. Tailor
ing is no exception to the rule. A man that
is capable of doing first class work cannot
and will not work for less than his labor is
worth. Bear that IN mind. On the other
hand, man that is not able to do first class
work must work for low price, else he will
not get any thing to do. The people of Paw
Paw were long pestered with cheap tailors.
Do not encourage them any more. The
world is advancing in every art and science;
the people around US are progressing in oil
that tends to make sweet to man the burdens
of life itself, and bear IN mind that nowhere
are those strides more manifest than at
